Hi Marecki, this is a very powerful package with many users. Thank you for maintaining it till now.
Could you address the exact problems to upstream, so they are aware and can improve it? I think not only Gentoo, but also other distributions suffer if it does not build smooth.
Looks to me as if the package is not broken now, but there is a lack of manpower to update it. 30 days is the minimum for a removal.
I suggest to keep it for a few more months. On 2023-10-26 03:00, Marek Szuba wrote:
Upstream uses a massive home-made Makefile which has since the beginning required massive amounts of patching to make it behave reasonably (as well as to fix the problems which ostensibly led upstream to abandoning CMake, and which they immediately re-introduced in their NIH solution) and which if anything have only got worse since then. One, optional, reverse dependency in the tree. Removal on 2023-11-26. Bug #916289.
-- Best, Jonas
